New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

planes, according to the spiritual workmanship of the inhabitants.

I believe you and I to-day, and every hour of the day, are helping to build one of those cities; and just as we build, so shall our structure be when we leave this particular chemical formation in which our spirits now dwell and pass on to new realms. And when we reach that new region we shall find for neighbors those who have thought similar thoughts, held similar ambitions and committed similar actions while on this sphere. The scientific world has decided that "Thought is Energy." This energy will select our place of habitation in the life beyond, and therefore it behooves both you and me to direct our energy to good and beautiful purposes, if we wish a desirable location in one of the many "cities not built by hands," but by thoughts.

There is something wonderfully stimulating to the human mind in the very vaguest dream of such a city. It gives new impetus to worthy action, new wings to hope, new comfort to sorrow, new solace to disappointment and failure. It makes everything good seem enduring, and everything that is not good trivial and of small import. It makes the hurried transit of time in this little life seem of less importance, and arouses the heart from sad reveries over broken earthly ties to a consciousness of renewed friendships and affections in worlds beyond.

For those who have always longed for the beautiful and ideal, while compelled to live in sordid and commonplace surroundings, it gives the exquisite hope of compensation for disappointment and reward for patience.

All hail to the Cities Beyond!
